If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of
-Makefiles and equivalents. (If you have fetched the source from CVS,
-you'll have to generate the Makefiles yourself -- see below.)
+Makefiles and equivalents. (If you have fetched the source from
+Subversion, you'll have to generate the Makefiles yourself -- see

For building on Windows:
- - Makefile.vc is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++ systems.
- Type `nmake -f Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
+ - windows/Makefile.vc is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++
+ systems. Change into the `windows' subdirectory and type `nmake
+ -f Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
(We've also had one report of success building with the
OpenWatcom compiler -- www.openwatcom.org -- using Makefile.vc
with `wmake -ms -f makefile.vc' and NO_MULTIMON, although we
haven't tried this ourselves.)
- - Inside the MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project files
- for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities. These
- have been tested on Visual Studio 6.
+ - Inside the windows/MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project

+ These have been tested on Visual Studio 6.
You should be able to build each PuTTY utility by loading the
corresponding .dsp file in Visual Studio. For example,
MSVC/putty/putty.dsp builds PuTTY itself, MSVC/plink/plink.dsp
builds Plink, and so on.
- - Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f
- Makefile.bor' to build all the PuTTY binaries.
+ - windows/Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f
+ Makefile.bor' while in the `windows' subdirectory to build all
+ the PuTTY binaries.
- - Makefile.cyg is for Cygwin / mingw32 installations. Type `make -f
- Makefile.cyg' to build all the PuTTY binaries. Note that by
- default the Pageant WinNT security features and the multiple
- monitor support are excluded from the Cygwin build, since at the

+ monitor support is excluded from the Cygwin build, since at the
time of writing Cygwin doesn't include the necessary headers.
- - Makefile.lcc is for lcc-win32. Type `make -f Makefile.lcc'. (You
- will probably need to specify COMPAT=-DNO_MULTIMON.)
